Ilesanmi Adesida was born in Ifon, Ondo State,
Nigeria. He received the B.S., M.S. and PhD. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the
University of California Berkeley in 1974, 1975 and 1979, respectively.Becoming an IEEE Fellow is a mark of unusual distinction in the profession. It is a recognition conferred only by the Board of Directors upon a person of outstanding and extraordinary qualifications and experience, who has made important individual contributions to one or more of IEEE designated fields. A nominee must be a Senior Member of the Institute, and have been a member in any grade for at least five years prior to the year of election as Fellow.
A nomination for Fellow must be accompanied by at least five references from other Fellows in IEEE. No more than one-tenth percent of the total Institute membership may be advanced to Fellow grade in any given year. The 26 member Fellows Committee evaluates each nomination as does a Society. Multiple reviewers produce a composite viewpoint that is used in recommending suitable candidates to the Board of Directors for election to Fellow grade.
IEEE conferred the distinction of Fellow on 239 of its members in 1999. Of the 18 new Fellows who are members of the SSCS, 11 are profiled below. The remaining seven will be introduced in our July issue.
